Razor Burn

[Nicky, Riley & Boris]

Boris is doing really well with us here at home. We have a large crate in the living room, a big sheepskin rug in the den, a big bed in the kitchen and a crate in our bedroom and he is in whichever room one of us is in. He seems to know that he has to stay on his bed and is sleeping a lot. He doesn't seem to be in pain and is walking well when I bring him on leash out for potty breaks. Riley is being very gentle and is not trying to play just goes over to him and licks his face or just checks him out or lies down outside the crate.  When they shaved him down for the operation they gave him some razor burn on his elbows and I am not sure what to put on them. Should I cover his bare legs with socks or put some ointment on and if so what type. They are red and there are a couple of spots where the skin is broken. I just want to make sure he is as comfortable as possible. He is such a brave boy.

So glad Boris is back home and doing well!!  Sounds like he has a lot of nice places for resting, and it's sweet that Riley is being so gentle.

no advice here. Though I have had luck with Neosporin on Trixie.

I am so glad to hear that Boris is doing pretty good.

and that Riley is checking in on him so nicely.

I hope his razor burns heal fast & dont start to bother him

Sorry about the razor burn, but I am glad that everything else is going as well as can be.

I used neosporin that Laurie gave me ( it's not available here) and I can see an improvement already. Vet said not to cover it and he's lying on a sheepskin rug most of the day which I know is easy on his joints. Thanks for all your advise and warm words it so helps to know there are friends routing for Boris.
